Re: Linux apps out there? any good? non-Dead |
I find that CCLeaner finds a lot of false positives, and isn't really the ideal. I know other techy guys that swear by it, but for my money, I've never had any registry issues with Win7, and Spyware is never an issue since Spybot search and destroy.

First, on Windows again, they did the TimeMachine feature right (forgot the name; that's the Mac version). It's maybe the best thing MS ever did - very easy to back out of installs that cause problems. -- ah "System Restore"
CCleaner gets rid of all kinds of stuff, including temp file, Flash temps -- Adobe's "Local Shared Objects", Microsoft's "User Data Persistence", recent movie and other files for Windows, Explorer, and Firefox all at once.
But I've found that AdAware finds more tracking cookies after CCleaner than Spybot. Here's a few articles that seem good, but I usually don't bother with Cached DNS Entries:
